Lost Ark 1445 To 1475 Gear Honing Strategy

Finally, we have an update on the Valtan content and the release of the Lost Ark Summer Roadmap. It is time to begin running Legion Raids to get materials to craft the Relic Legion Raid T3 set and Legendary Legion Raid T3 set. And if you want to challenge the highest level Chaos Dungeons for more loots, then continue to hone your item level until reach 1470. 

So how to hone all your gears to +19 and 1470 fast with the least cost? Here we've sorted out a complete 1470 honing guide for you, by breaking down the efficient 1445 honing ways, rate up mats utilizing recommendations for 100% artisan energy, as well as how to get more mats with the least gold spending.

Lost Ark Fastest & Cheapest 1445-1470 Gear Honing Method

In order to upgrade your items level from 1445 to 1470, you have to get +19 for each piece of your equipment, here we break down the effective and cheapest methods to help you achieve +19 for all of your gears:

Tip 1 - Get Your Gears To +19 Instead Of Getting Them Beyond 19

Similar to the honing strategy we talked about in our 1415 to 1445 Honing guide, because of the much lower rates after (5% and 5% honing attempts of +19 better than 3% chance of +20), so the cheaper method to achieve the required level is getting your weapon to +20 and 4 pieces of armor to 19, then leaving one of your gear to +18. 

Tip 2 - Use All Rate Up Mats On Weapon +19/20  (Tradeable Or Untradable Ones Are All Good)

Whether you're using the tradable or untradeable, this is by far the cheapest to use the rate up materials like the solar graze, solar blasting, and also solar protection. So you may utilize the tradable ones and all the non-tradable ones for the weapon to get it to +20, so you should save them until you get your weapon to plus 20. What we recommend in homing is to get your weapon to +20 first and all the leftover untreatable rate up materials you can hone this for your armor and if you have extra tradable honing materials, then you consider selling them because this is by far the cheapest approach.

Tip 3 - Only Use Untradable Rate Up Mats On Armor

We could also save untradable rate up mats for 20+ weapons honing, which we can farm from glost ships, field bards, and other events including the logging events (depending on the value of items, you can exchange the best-valued mats). For the armor honing, it is costly to utilize any of the materials whether it's obtained from the Mario secret store or whether from the market (it is more expensive to buy those from the market compared to the Mari secret shop) (it is more expensive to buy those from the market compared to the Mari secret shop).

Tips For Lost Ark +20 Weapon Methods

1. Using Rate Up Mats Early - Cheaper in total cost (slight better expect value) at 5% & 3% 

2. Using Rate Up Mats Late - Slightly more costly but faster success at a higher rate, at 10% & 6% (after failing 10 times for bonus rate). The cost of leapstone and red destruction stone really do add up

3. Using Rate Up Mats As Much As You Can When You Have Them - Checking Mari’s Shop price vs market to see which is cheaper, get solar grace & protection from the market, but solar bless from Mari’s Shop

Tips for Increase +17 To +19/20 Honing Success Rates

Helps you find the most cost-effective way to maximize your success rates by calculating success rates and failures for each level:

1. Base Success Rates for +19/20 are 5% & 3%

2. Expect To Fail Around 14-20 Times for 17 -> 19, Expect To Fail 16-30 Times for 19 -> 20!

3. Those Are Rough Estimates, But Hitting Pity Here Is Much More Likely:

- As bonus rates caps out at +5%, +3% to 10% & 6% after 10 fails

- Rate up mats only adds 5%, +3%, so max rate is at 15% for 17- 19 & 9% for 19-20, which is on average 7 & 11 attempts at the highest rates

Tips For Saving Fusion Leapstones on Honing Rate Up

1. Only Use Base Rate - Does not give bonus rate up from failing or consider rate up mats, and does not give artisian energy

When To use it?

2. Best Cheap Way To Get Fusion Leapstones - Check the Honing Calculator to get to know the Cost Per Attempt/Cost Of Leapstones, pick the Lowest Cost at the current market & Mari Shop

3. Use Fusion Leapstone EARLY - Use it early on the gears that have the lowest or no artisan energy, as if you succeed on the gears you will wipe all the artisan energy and if you failed, you don’t get any of it.

How To Get More Honing Mats for 1445 to 1475 Gear Honing?

The cheapest way to honing 1445 to 1475 is of course by saving the cost of mats, so here are the cheapest ways to get these T3 materials:

Best Cheap Way To Get Red/Blue Stones

1. Cheapest Stones On The Market After Thursday - You could buy all these stones at 1-2 Lost Ark gold below market prices

2. Set Them On Favorite & Check Market Price Often - In order to get the best prices, don’t forget to set them on favorite and check their prices on the market often, the cheapest prices usually happen before and faster Daily/Weekly Reset!

Best Cheap Way To Get Leapstones

1. Get Leapstones From Both Event & Daily Guardians - Stopped selling tradable leapstones after clearing guardian raids (temporally), and you and all players can get more leapstones from events and guardians, and market prices are likely to drop. 

2. It's Around 65g Each From Mari Shop Vs 100g From Market Price - Only buy Leapstones from Mari Shop to push for 1475 because the prices are much cheaper than the market, and start to sell them again after reaching 1475, you will get more gold profit.
